Just to give you an idea why House 1 interested me.SFH House 1: 600k, 1999, nice area, well kept, remodeled, 2299 SQFTSFH House 2: 550k ,1953, 1660 SQFT, House needs work. 

Remodeled a dated bathroom What was the outcome?

Me and my husband are investing on properties in the Detroit area , I want to know if anyone can share contact information of  contractors that can remodel houses, I travel on September 9-10 to Detroit and I need to schedule a visit with a contractor so we can visit the property together and I can get a quote of the job that need to be done.I have try to contact a few contractors but nothing yet.

In the meantime while living here, we fixed a ton of issues, remodeled the bathrooms prior to listing our place last weekend.we accepted a very generous offer that we will come out ahead on.That being said, I know short term capital gains taxes are in play, and I’m wondering how I can reduce these taxes as much as possible (legitimately).

Both units I think would bring in $1100-$1300 each.I don’t have enough equity in my house to get a HELOC to fund the remodel.

Sheets, towels, consumable items such as toilet paper, paper towels and so forth, when used for your business are deductible.  

Once you are in, you will have access to find a trustworthy person in the location's Rotary club where you want to have your rental property who will be able to help you out with the local needs you have regarding collecting rent and renting out the property and fixing broken toilets.

We installed a MW drawer as part of the remodel.  

(Trust me, I have experience with that.)Make sure you put durable products into your unit as long as you're remodeling. 

(Annual Gross Rent - OPEX - Debt Service ) / (Entry Equity + Remodeling Costs)If top part is 15,000 and bottom is 75,000, then your annual CoC is 20%.
